Assembly-line Production
A volume production process where products move continuously along a conveyor, with components added at each workstation until the final product is assembled.
Automated Production
A volume production process where machines are controlled by computers, allowing for high efficiency and minimal human input.
Batch Production
A limited-volume production process where a set number of items are made in groups or batches.
Computer Integrated Manufacture (CIM)
A manufacturing system that uses computers to integrate production, business, and manufacturing processes, creating more efficient and automated production lines.
Continious Production
A production method where materials are manufactured or processed without interruption, allowing for constant output.
Craft Production
A small-scale production process that relies on manual skills to make individual or custom products.
Design for Manufacture (DfM)
A design approach where products are created for optimal use of existing manufacturing capabilities, improving efficiency and ease of production.
Hybrid Production Systems
A combination of manufacturing methods used to produce a component, often blending manual, mechanised, and automated processes.
Mass Customisation
The production of large quantities of products that are individually customised to meet specific customer needs.
Mass Production
The large-scale production of standardized products using production lines, allowing for high output and efficiency per worker.
Mechanized Production
A volume production process where machines are operated by humans to produce goods efficiently and consistently.
One-off production
The creation of a single, unique product, often craft-produced or made as a prototype for larger-scale production.
Product Limitation
The constraints on product design caused by manufacturing processes, materials, and technologies.
